Underwater image suffer from color cast, low contrast and hazy effect due to light absorption, refraction and scattering, which degraded the high-level application, e.g, object detection and object tracking. Recent learning-based methods…

Images acquired during underwater activities suffer from environmental properties of the water, such as turbidity and light attenuation. These phenomena cause color distortion, blurring, and contrast reduction. In addition, irregular…

Image-to-image translation architectures may have limited effectiveness in some circumstances. For example, while generating rainy scenarios, they may fail to model typical traits of rain as water drops, and this ultimately impacts the…

Caused by the difference of data distributions, intra-domain gap and inter-domain gap are widely present in image processing tasks. In the field of image dehazing, certain previous works have paid attention to the inter-domain gap between…

Recovery of true color from underwater images is an ill-posed problem. This is because the wide-band attenuation coefficients for the RGB color channels depend on object range, reflectance, etc. which are difficult to model. Also, there is…

Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) is essential for enabling semantic segmentation in new domains without requiring costly pixel-wise annotations. State-of-the-art (SOTA) UDA methods primarily use self-training with architecturally…

Domain shift happens in cross-domain scenarios commonly because of the wide gaps between different domains: when applying a deep learning model well-trained in one domain to another target domain, the model usually performs poorly. To…

It is well-known that in inverse problems, end-to-end trained networks overfit the degradation model seen in the training set, i.e., they do not generalize to other types of degradations well. Recently, an approach to first map images…

In an underwater scene, wavelength-dependent light absorption and scattering degrade the visibility of images, causing low contrast and distorted color casts. To address this problem, we propose a convolutional neural network based image…

Deep learning techniques have been widely used in autonomous driving systems for the semantic understanding of urban scenes. However, they need a huge amount of labeled data for training, which is difficult and expensive to acquire. A…

Most existing studies on unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) assume that each domain's training samples come with domain labels (e.g., painting, photo). Samples from each domain are assumed to follow the same distribution and the domain…
